Converted my 2020 Propain Spindrift to single speed. Zeb is 190 mm version and the frame travel is 190-ish as well as I've replaced the stock 60x230 shock with 65x230 one.

I was wondering what spacers are on there. But now I see that it is an XD Driver Kit that SB One sells.

Well that is beautiful!


Hey would anyone like a SBone tensioner, XD ss conversion kit, 13t cog, and a chain? I am moving my setup a different way. It's barely used...Will make you an amazing deal on it...

Thanks! It's XL and I'm 190 cm tall. Not the longest XL bike there is but doesn't matter, it's a fun bike.

I was asking as I am 193 cm tall and was looking at the latest Spindrift, but I am forced to buy an L to keep the 27.5 front wheel as the XL comes only with 29 front wheel.

I haven't tried it but you should be able to use a 27.5 front wheel and keep the 29'' geometry by using a larger crown race such as this one:

I forgot to mention that I currently have a Boxxer, it might work with a different upper crown, the one that has lower engagement points for the tubes, but they are so hard to find for the 2019 model.

If I sell the fork I might as well buy a 29er one.
